Answer: I Write The Songs

Words and music by Bruce Johnston, NOT Barry Manilow. When you examine the words careful you realize that the "I" of the song is "music", not Barry Manilow, but he was concerned that people would think he was pretentious for singing it. At least in the case of harsher critics, Manilow's concerns proved true.

6. "I can tell something's up, You haven't touched your Scotch, You've been staring out the window, Now you're staring at your watch, And lately that's been happening too much."

10. "I remember all my life, Raining down as cold as ice, A shadow of a man, A face through a window, Crying in the night, The night goes into morning."
